so, i finally decided to put the 280 in the air and check the gearing in the axle...i used the spin the tire and count the revolutions method. i know its not exact, but i wanted a ballpark figure...
after checking and rechecking about 6 or 7 times, i had my boss come over and get a second opinion...
it came out to be just about 2 driveshaft revolutions to make one tire revolution... so its saying i have around a 2.00:1 gearing!!!!
this cant be right, someone tell me im crazy and that they never made a gearset that low....
because with that gearing ill be shifting into second at 88mph, into 3rd at 145mph, and 3rd will run out of gear at 240mph...noooooway this can be right
